The mining simulator HTML looks good — clean responsive design, hardware selection, reward calculation. This matches bounty #2301.

However, the telegram_bot files (audience_tracker.py, rustchain_query_bot.py, test_audience_tracker.py) are duplicated from your PR #1751. Please resubmit with ONLY the simulator.html file.

Resubmit with just simulator.html → 40 RTC for the mining simulator bounty.
